What players say
In the hindsight of all the other Party Packs existing, Party Pack 2 is not really worth it. Unless you want to fill out your collection. Quiplash XL is the original Quiplash with even more prompts. I think 3's sequel or 7's threequel is simply better, and additionally those games have some more up-to-date prompts, since these older titles do suffer from bad aging.

AVOID on steam deck. Bricked my deck with their awful launcher no one asked for. POS software. Avoid avoid avoid.
